While our summertime version of Fountain Square holds
its charm with its warm-weather hoopla of constant live music and
dancing, wintry Fountain Square comes alive in its own rite with an ice
rink rivaling the size of the rink at the Rockefeller Center. It’s a
classic feel-good, family-friendly Cincinnati tradition that’s worth
keeping up.
Warm up at any number of nearby establishments; there’s hot
chocolate at Graeter’s, pizza at Via Vite, coffee at Tazza Mia and too
much else to list. On-site amenities include skate rental, lockers,
benches and a heated tent with snacks and drinks. $3 admission, $3 skate
rental. Daily through Feb. 15. Check the website for special holiday
hours. Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown. 513-381-0782,
